Special collection and reporting instructions apply for patients who leave against medical advice (AMA).

Dispo:
- enter "AMA (left against medical advice)" (can type AMA in dropdown)
- AMA should be entered whether the patient follows the WRHA AMA process (signing form etc) or just goes AWOL
Dispo DtTm:
- The Dispo DtTm field is when the person left AMA, or was noted to be gone and assumed AMA. If a bed is "held" and the patient indeed returns, goes back into that bed without being readmitted (because the bed was held), then this isn't to be considered to be an AMA. This follows the same kind of reasoning as Visits to temporary locations.
BedHeldEnd DtTm:
- time bed was released

AMA affects the following:

AMA is being counted as HOME in reporting for the location the patient went after discharge

-*** This will give us an alternate Dispo DtTm, too, though. So, if Dispo DtTm is used in an administrative report, are some of those actually looking for this BedHeld time rather than the pt leaving time that we have been giving them? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 11:10, 2022 December 14 (CST)
